Each bursary will provide a comprehensive package of support, including free business seminars, networking events and access to Centrepunch workshops in West Norwood throughout 2014.

Centrepunch’s director of education, Beaulagh Brooks, commented: “We are determined to fill a vacuum in genuine support for graduates in the goldsmithing industry and we are very proud to have been asked by Lambeth Council to become a partner in providing training and mentoring to businesses in the Borough and surrounding areas.”

Centrepunch opened in June 2013 as a space for new and graduate jewellers to further their skills, receive mentoring and builds connections within the industry on a flexible schedule.

Bursary applications are open to all graduates from 2012 and 2013. Apply by April 4 for interviews commencing April 14. Successful applicants will start the scheme in May 2014.
